Omdat Istockphoto (in handen van Getty) gisteren (08-09-10) aankondigde dat de fotografen vanaf 2011 een nog kleiner deel van de inkomsten ontvangen dan ze al kregen adviseer ik kopers direct bij de fotograaf te kopen of via een van de fotosites (zie bijvoorbeeld hierboven)te kopen die een eerlijk deel geven aan de aanleverende fotograaf.Istockphoto announced major commission changes (cuts) from next January. Instead of commission rates being set by "cannister" level (based on all time sales) it will now be based only on sales from the previous year. For small and independent contributors (like me) commission will drop from an already poor 20% to an industry low of 15%. Even many of the successful exclusive contributors are anticipating a drop in earnings. Many have stopped uploading and exclusives have either left exclusivity or have announced they will leave Istock altogether.

About me

I have been an enthusiastic travel photographer since I got my first camera about thirty years ago. I work as a professional photographer since 2006. I do mainly travel and stockphotography and some model photography. Please take a look at some of my photos on this blog
Hoewel al lang een enthousiast reisfotograaf ben ik sinds 2006 professioneel geworden. Veel reis- en stockfotografie en ook wat modellenwerk.
